My son works at an upscale men's clothing store. He said that someone came in with raw onions in his pant's pockets. We looked it up and it is a thing in India and maybe other countries. It's supposed to protect you from sunstroke. Don't know why this guy had them in his pockets in the dead of winter.

have to let anyone in. I'll go grocery shopping at three in the morning to avoid crowds, use drive thru's for everything possible that I absolutely have to. I should be able to lower the risk as well as about anyone.

According to my grandmother, people actually wore ‘assa-fittidy bags’ back around the turn of the last century.

only an almost daily basis. And I don't like it too cooked either. I like it about thirty seconds from raw.

1. Will to live ("No, not the Will to Live; DOCTOR Will Tuliv. The man's a genius." )

2. Garlic. ("It's a scientific fact that you die when the Angel of Death taps you on the shoulder and says C'mon, you're outta here. So every night before bed, I eat a good pound, pound-and-a-half, of garlic, so if the Angel of Death taps me in the shoulder, I'll wake up saying HOO is it?, and the Angel of Death will say Forget it!" )
